Was literally thinking "wow this guy's voice is kinda nice" when the info part of the video finished... I was not expecting the forbidden nature valley granola asmr. Thanks Roarty
yo are welcome, i apprecoate your feedback tune in next week for another granola bar review
Wow this game acutally has great style, I love the approach you took to the UI
thank you!
Rare to see a game with local multiplayer anymore. This looks so fun on a Switch! Also keep making those TikToks, they seem to work.
thanks! definitely want to make a switch port, I think it could do decently on there
Bought it today. Love the art style. It'd be a great party game. Once I got the hang of it I love just how fast you can fly over those hills. The characters are all so super cute too. You made a nice enjoyable game.
yo thanks! I appreciate your comment!! Online should be done relatively soon, maybe a month ish out
Very cool! I'll definitely be following your future projects :D
thank you!
Congratulations! I’m looking to release my own game in the next couple of months here! releasing a game is huge!!!
heck yea, what kind of game?
Super cool! Keep going with the devlogs this video was great :]
thank you!
Wow looks good. Nintendo quality racer! Just discovered this devlog after looking at a lot of abismal ones. Yours stand out!
haha thank you!
I'm so glad this got reccomended to me! This game looks super fun and I'll definitely be picking it up when I can, and hoping that your projects get the attention they deserve! The style and music are delightful, and just based on what I saw, I'd say adding a trick system would be super cool, something akin to tony hawk or jet set radio! looking forward to what you have next tho, thanks for making games, and this video!!!!
thank you, that is very kind, I really appreciate the feedback!
I really want to get much better at marketing. But I always feel like I have nothing to really sell. I'm so happy to learn about your game and your journey, thank you!
yo definitely feel you there! I do think over time you do build up the confidence but yea the first plunge into it can feel kind of off. But if the thing im selling is decent and im honest about the price / what you get for it, then you cant go wrong. Appreciate the comment!
Sounds very interesting and cool project :)
Thanks!
Thanks for the ASMR, also amazing game
thank you!
Love your style!
yo thank you!
thanks for sharing, great vid!
thanks!
man, your video has quality! certanly soon it will gonna be big
thanks!
Great video and great advice!
thank you!
Congrats! Adding this to my wishlist. Came here cause I'm about to release my own first Steam game, just a small month long project.
oh heck yea whats it called?
@@dogma.questlogIt's a little VR puzzler game called Onsui, the only goal was actually to release so success I guess. Onto the next one
Now this is a game with SOUL and STYLE! Definitely want to check it out one day
yo thank you!
Awsome video. Hope u keep the game dev dream going, and you better watch out for me in the future
thanks! heck yea
LMFAO nice outro and nice pixel shader the game reminds me of n64 snowboard kids which i really enjoyed back in the days.. you know what the best thing was for me at least it was the lift back up that would be my next feature developing your game and i think would add more depth to your game then you could have like rounds instead of just ride down once .. love your art style great job peace
snowboard kids is very cool haha, and I like the lift back up idea, that would be super cool!
Pretty cool! Another thing that would be cool is a level editor :) If it has players and a high enough skill ceiling it will generate content forever
very true! It would be cool to make a level editor / or even seeded maps
i saw your game IG and got interested, i bet it was still worth it on that platform :)
oh wow, thanks for checking it out, guess so!
You should try to collab with BlackThornProd that might be able to bring some awareness to your channel and games, and I think you might enjoy it. It seems like the devs like making their section of the video along with adding their take of the game. They're asking for devs to reach out to them in the 100 dev pass the game challenge video they posted the other day. Hope you see this and good luck!
yo thank you for the comment, thats a great idea and would be super fun,I might reach out! ive seen sime of their videos before they are cool haha
The game looks great! Amazing Job :D
I do have a question, since i saw a glimp of the Unity Editor, how did you set up the local co-op? I just can't wrap my head around how to implement it since i want to create a game for my friends and me to play. I am referring to the pre-game lobby where you can 'x to join' , choose character etc. Would be great if you shared the tutorial / info you used for this !
hey thank you! for the local muktiplayer I ended up making a script called "player manager" and then when it detects somebody new pressing A, the manager just puts it into the right slot. Unity's new input system is great for this because it handles the actual joining and stuff like that, you just have to tell objects where to go. I might make a video on this too thanks for the suggestion. and also feel free to ask more indepth questions here, or you could join the discord and message me there too.
would you have any tips on how to make the models of the characters you made? i love the style
yea for sure! I generally started with a plane in blender and turned on symmetry so I'm only modeling half of it. I think the most important factors were the silhouette so when you look at the edge of the model as you spin it around does the shape still look like a bunny or whatever you are trying to model, and then secondly the textures go a long way so the model doesn't have to be that detailed. I tried to keep it simple, and focus on the overall shape. Some of the characters where loosely based on stuffed animals or Christmas ornaments so it also can help to have something you can hold to spin around in your hand to work from in real 3D.
If you go to brendanroarty.com/Page1.html you can scroll down and see them in t-pose if that helps and some of the older bunny hill devlogs and shorts on the channel have some shots of me modelling them that might help with showing triangle count etc. Also if you join my discord I'd be happy to give feedback tips on stuff you model if you are inclined in that way too. I've been meaning to make a modelling crash course kind of video just to get all the modelling stuff I do out there and see what people think or if others have tips to share too. Thanks for reaching out! hopefully this was helpful in some way haha
This is awesome, I just bought the game on steam because of this! Also I'm curious how the cover/ banner art was made or what process you used, did you paint it yourself? Or was it some sort of intricate render?
hey thanks for checking it out! my friend matt ulicney made the cover art for the game, he's insanely good and it is a digital painting. you cna look up his website to find more of his work and hes got other socials as well if you are interested. definitely one of the best parts of the aesthetic of the game i think haha
@@dogma.questlog Awesome, thanks for answering, I'll check them out!
MAN WHAT THE FUCK, THIS GUY GOT ONLY 12 VIEWS ON THIS GEM.
thank you! I appreciate you boss
What really stuck out to me in this video was the fact that it took you four years to make the game. Your games and your videos are super underrated and I hope they get more players and views. Can’t wait for the next upload!
yo thanks jake! love seeing your progress too! I think a lot of game dev youtube seems so quick and fast paced its crazy to realize how much making this stuff actually takes!
also I learned a ton during the process, so I think I could make it faster now, but I had to make it that slow the first time!
Online is now out for the game!!
find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/1424350/Bunny_Hill/?beta=0
wish you could have gone more into the amount/numbers that you earned. thanks for the video!
at the point of this video I had sold around 1.5k copies, you can do the math with the steam price, but remember steam takes 30% cut and some of those copies were sold at a discount so the average price is lower per copy as well. Hope that helps!
@@dogma.questlog thanks a lot this does
great game, will grab it when i have the spare $$
yo thanks, it just went on sale for ~4 dollars today!
@@dogma.questlog thank you, i grabbed a copy
@@dogma.questlog man, this game is hard af
you'll get the hang of it, you got it
@@dogma.questlog funny you say that, i have 2 achievements left. the 1000 races and play with 4 people.
if you would like i can play some more and figure out some more ideas for achievements, i'm a developer over at retroachievements
Cliff bars are highly dependent on selected flavor but ultimately fall flat, however i will say their nut butter bars really give the competition a run for their money. Cliff bloks changed the game for me, especially mountain berry, perfect balance of tapioca and sweetness
which bar should I review next week?
if im being honest id say garuka bars are a must-try for a premium granola bar experience. however you might lose some relatability with the common layman. That being said, a more down-to-earth review might be of the cliff nut-butter chocolate and peanut butter bar. Easy, packable, affordable, and widely available.
@@mattulicny1632 I think I'll give it a go
Just found this video at random. This game looks like the sort of stuff I spend a really good weekend on, do I bought it :)
yo thank you! I appreciate it :)
Heads up in the first min the header achievements is spelt wrong. Not sure if that's early artwork though
hahah never noticed that yea I missed the 'N' no one has ever mentioned it before. no one reads it I guess, thanks for the heads up!
Notable world event? Which one?
bovid 19
i would totally buy this on Xbox, would definitely be the most fun party game i have on there
lookong into console ports!
@@dogma.questlog That's so awesome!
1. Consider adding more than 2 maps
2. Consider making it online not split screen (?)
3. Then your game wont do bad
haha its 4 maps, and has online
Found a new underrated gamemaked🎉!! Hope i coulr play this game but steam purchases are banned in Iran
This game also reminds me of ski safari on mobile
never played ski safari ill check it out, but you can also play the game on itch.io, its on sale right now!
Nature Valley stinks pardon my french. Friend opened one and it had maggots go figure… I only eat Power Crunch and Garuka bars to up my game
honestly fair, it seems to me that the maggots actually provide me with an ancient zen like state, that allows me to "enter the zone" effortlessly, a sort of flow
fair enough, they do ultimately bring an earthy natural element to what is an otherwise wholly processed food. i could see why someone much in line with you or one like the well known influencer and podcaster extraordinaire joe rogan would seek out a more primitive way of nutrition
@@mattulicny1632 you do make a fair point about, and I'm extrapolating here (correct me if I've had the wrong assumption), with the insinuation of the "low" nature of this meal. The "natural" way is primitive like you state. I do think that there is something to be said, argued even, about food that goes "next level", even food that is not fit for consumption of mere "natural" beings like us, but food that pushes the boundary on what food is. Something like a cliff bar really is a bit further along this righteous albeit transhumanist approach than the lowly nature valley. I can see where you are coming from.
🔥 'Promo sm'
hello!
i dont recomend increasing the price. If the game is like 7 bucks only people that really want it will buy it. If you lower it to like 3 bucks ppl will left over cash on steam will browse for smth to buy, notice ur game and say duck it its only 3 bucks so even if the game is half the price it will get more than double the sales. I think im kinda stupid lol.
yea fair, I think the reason i would raise it is because people only buy stuff on sale so if i price it down on a sale then itll still be a larger amount, but the sale makes it enticing. I see what you mean though, its interesting what difference the $4 makes in peoples mind haha
😴😴
I don't know what "It's a console game you can play on PC" means but it sounds like a toxic mindset tbh
Two words: Steam Deck
What I meant by that is that it is a game designed to be played with multiple controllers at once, something that is more akin to a console than a pc, but I'm a big pc fan and I'm glad I made it for all pc platforms. I just think it's better suited to a console environment conceptually and would therefore potentially sell better where things like many controllers are more common. I think pc is becoming more and more relevant in "replacing" consoles but I would consider the steam deck a console in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for the comment
